Exclude proxy settings on my laptops

Question

I have a web filter that is setup as a proxy. it is not inline. I have a group policy user setting that sets the proxy information. It works great. I have laptop users that have an agent to connect them to the web filter while mobile. How
can I exclude the user setting on my laptop users. I have an OU created for the laptops but the group policy is a user policy not a computer policy so it will still apply even if I block inheritance on that OU... right.

If I am not mistaken you would like to block GPO for several users. In that case I suggest to create a security group and add the Laptop users to the group. Then Use
Security Filtering concept in the proxy GPO and assign deny permission on
Apply Group Policy setting for the user. More information:

I created the WMI filer and app;idd it to my i.e. proxy GP. It seemed to work opposite, my regular desktops were not getting the ieproxy goo. I ran a gpresult and it was showing that the policy was denied.

OK, so I have 2 GP objects. IE_Proxy and Laptop_IE. Laptop_IE is above IE_Proxy in the link order. So which policy do I apply the WMI filter? I am going to say the new one I created since that filter will block it from applying to
the desktops. Then since it has a higher link order it will take precedence on the laptops.
